Next week I am going from Rugby to Blackpool North for the 3rd time since November, for leisure purposes. I live near to Leicester and drive to Rugby and leave my car next to the station, a bit pricy at £9 per day but all stations are pricy for parking, well except Atherstone .
With Avanti I pay around £28 each way in First, which includes food and drink and a first stop Warrington Bank Quay,. Depending on the fares I would like to use the new service from Nuneaton with rail connection from Leicester rather than car, which I understand is first stop Preston. I love going through the usual stopping stations at a good belt.
Hotels are very cheap in Blackpool out of season, I know Fleetwood and Blackpool have seen better days but St Annes is very pleasant.
I get free bus travel and this time I have gone for plusbus one day which includes tram travel, there is a lovely old fashioned cheap cafe at Fleetwood Ferry.
Also train fares are pretty good value, on Tuesday I have got an Avanti Preston-Carlisle standard return for around £12.
I can see things picking up for the Fylde area once the general public get used to the 8 trains a day Avanti and Alliance? Blackpool service.
